I recently bought a '68 Bronco I am fixing up and right now in the progress of ordering parts and everything. Right no?w its the lift kit I am looking at. From looking at a lot of other peoples set ups they usually all have 1-2" body lift plus the suspension lift. Is there a reason for this? I have read in some of the lift kits you need a body lift for the different shock hoop design you choose, or is there other reasons for why people are doing the body lift?
I am looking at either the:
- WH 4.5" performance System 7 with the rear shock jock and extreme U-Bolt kit (should I get the 6 degree shims too for rear leaf springs to help out on drive shaft angle)
- James Duff G 3 1/2" Ultimate Lift kit, on the springs you have choice of medium or heavy duty leaf springs?
What do y'all think is the best lift, price really is not a issue but also do not want to spend the most possible. Also I know the steering linkage all needs to be worked with somehow when doing these lifts. From what I have read the best way to go is Trac Bar drop bracket which is included. I recently ordered from WH bc it was a special was the Adjustable Trac Bar 4140 Chromoly Includes Bushings

I have seen people also use the James Duff front springs and the WH rear springs? With either one of these lift kits will longer radius arms be a n=must have? If so I have looked at them they all run around $700-$900 range, who has the best for the money?
I have already ordered the Rock Solid front winch bumper and Rock Solid rear bumper with tire carrier from Protofab 4x4.

Rear: http://www.protofab4x4.com/products.php?ID=00&ID2=48
I am putting a winch on the front bumper and full size spare on the back, my question is will this affect the hight of the lift kit? Like will the weight of these bumpers lower the bronco down any?
Sorry I know its a lot of questions just from previous questions I have put on here y'all are definitely the right people to ask when it comes to anything bronco.
Thanks
